ClosureFast Procedure

At iSpine Clinics, we are here to support our patient’s vein care needs, from evaluation to diagnosis and treatment recommendations to help you improve your quality of life.

That’s why iSpine Clinics offers the ClosureFast™ Procedure for patients experiencing Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), providing effective long-term relief from varicose veins.

In an international, multicenter study, the ClosureFast™ RFA procedure had a closure rate of 91.9%, as well as a reflux-free rate of 94.9%. Patients receiving this procedure experienced a 72% improvement in their Venous Clinical Severity Scores at 5 years.

The ClosureFast™ procedure uses radiofrequency energy, or heat, to close the diseased vein, which redirects blood flow to healthy veins and relieves symptoms. It involves the insertion of a thin, flexible tube called a catheter into a diseased vein under ultrasound guidance. The treated vein dries up, shrinks, and is absorbed by the body. Once the diseased vein is closed, your body reroutes blood to other healthy veins.

Following the procedure, you will have a small bandage over the incision site. It may be recommended you wear compression stockings to help the recovery process. Your doctor will give you instructions around walking, standing and strenuous activities.

Most patients resume normal activities within days and see noticeable improvement in their symptoms 1 to 2 weeks following the procedure, with minimal to no scarring, bruising or swelling.
